A court officer removes Albert "Ian" Schweitzer's handcuffs following the judge's decision to release him from prison immediately, after spending more than 20 years in prison, Jan. 24, 2023, in Hilo, Hawaii. A man who was identified as a new suspect in the murder and sexual assault of a woman visiting Hawaii more than three decades ago committed suicide after police took a DNA swab from him, but before he could be arrested, attorneys said in court filings late Sunday, July 28, 2024.. The DNA work represented a major development in a case that was in the headlines last year when Schweitzer, ,a man who'd been incarcerated for more than 20 years for the murder, was released based on fresh evidence.
